OK, fair enough. That seems logical but in daily use isn't: I don't normally move back 
to "previous unread" but to "previous viewed". Similarly, I rarely move forward to 
"next viewed" but to "next unread". So it would be much more intuitive to have 
Alt+Right for "next unread" and Alt+Left for "previous viewed". 
Ideally, to reduce finger strain, I'd like a really lazy method for reviewing messages 
(I get a lot every day), like:
ArrowDown moves to next unread message, and if it's larger than the preview pane, 
PgDown scrolls downwards, PgUp upwards, with automatic change of focus. ArrowUp moves 
back to last viewed. Or an option to reconfigure keyboard shortcuts to any way the 
user likes it: I personally hate all those CTRL/ALT finger gymnastics for something as 
simple as moving through new messages.
Hope this makes sense.

Günter
